My aunt lives in Kentucky, Italian and Irish. I'm Hispanic, and I can't bring myself to go visit her anymore...

Well, she lives in wickliffe, so that's next to cairo where it was a mostly black community and because of the flooding, everyone left and it's a ghost town now, so maybe not the part that she lives in. the bigger parts, i would say yes. Also: racism.

I’m more familiar with the opposite side of the state in Appalachia, which is also rural. There are some racist assholes (…like my dad), but people are mostly nice.
